  • Patent number: 10314412
    Abstract: A hinged drawer type shelving apparatus includes a shelf with a first portion and a second portion hinged to the first portion. The first portion is connected between opposing arms that have a guide connected to a rearward portion of the arm. A frame has opposing side members between which the shelf is disposed. Each side member has a channel for directing or guiding movement of the corresponding guide. The shelf moves between a first stored position, where the first and second shelf portions are coplanar with one another, and a second extended position to facilitate restocking of product. In the extended position, the first shelf portion is tilted and non-coplanar with the second shelf portion.

  • Patent number: 10154739
    Abstract: A universal front-facing merchandiser is described having a front rail having a first mating structure and a plurality of integrated pusher and divider assemblies. Each divider assembly includes a second mating structure that corresponds to and mates with the first mating structure to couple the integrated pusher and divider assemblies to the front rail. The mating structures of each pusher and divider assembly and the front rail are movable between a first position where the integrated pusher and divider assembly is coupled to and laterally movable about the front rail and is not removable from the front rail without force being applied to the integrated pusher and divider assembly and a second position where the integrated pusher and divider assembly is secured to the front rail in a desired position in a manner that hinders lateral movement of the integrated pusher and divider assembly.

  • Patent number: 9877599
    Abstract: A product display is providing having a vertical support and a product basket configured to mount to the vertical support and display product in a front-facing manner in which product from a rear of the product basket is automatically biased toward a front of the product basket, wherein at least one of the vertical support and the product basket are configured to display a particular product in order to improve product pack out in at least one of a vertical and a horizontal direction within the product display. In one form, both the basket and vertical support are dimensioned or sized based on the specific product being displayed so that product pack out is improved, if not maximized, in both the vertical and horizontal direction.
